Carven Ong made his debut at the MODA Wanita Fashion Show in 1991 with an aim of no turning back. His spirit and passion has led him to what he is today – a principle, prominent designer and an entrepreneur.

Carven has proven that he is not a stranger in today’s fashion world; what’s more his sophisticated, elegance yet contemporary design has always become every lady’s dream to own and to shine on the red carpet.

Celebrating 18 years, Carven’s touch with the yin and yang elements – has create a new Spring/Summer 2010 collections with an aim of bringing his creation to the high level of fashion design.

The Spring/Summer 2010 collection is called “Snacas’ Spell” (snaca old English word of ’snake’) – an inspiration like mimicking human mutating into cold-blooded creatures: a tiny step toward the dark side. The long evening gowns are electrifying sexy and elegant with the snake design coil around the heads, clasping through waists, entwined on body and throats as a symbol of Eve’s temptation and of elegance, as it’s seen in Greek Mythology.

A special cooking experience by Chef Martin Yan infuses Kuala Lumpur with an exciting culinary adventure by GE Monogram and Kollektion Distribution Sdn Bhd.

My Fellow Blogger CK, Chef Martin Yen and me

Master Chefs maybe trained for many years, go to the best culinary academies to earn their prestigious title and respect in the cooking industry. However, people do not need to be like the experts to try their hand in cooking. This is what Martin Yan, globally renowned master chef and GE Monogram brand ambassador preaches. Though he has the education and countless accolades for his unwavering passion in Asian cooking, he firmly believes that if he can cook, other people can too.

It’s our privileged to have GE Monogram ambassador chef Martin Yan fly down to Malaysia to demonstrate his cooking skills. This unique opportunity that we are presenting reinforces the sophicicated values of the brand, which not only embodies achievement and status, but also giving a sense of timeless elegance and class.

14 March, Kuala Lumpur

Cristian Cuturrufo and the Cuturrufo Jazz Band gave all Kuala Lumpur music lovers a taste of pure Chilean passion at SOULEed Out and 7atenine. I was invited thanks to Andrew who gave me this opportunity to be in 7atenine for the first time. Some more come with such a famous Chilean Jazz band which is my type of music.

Brought in to perform in Malaysia for the very first time with the support from the Embassy of Chile, the quintet enthralled the audience with their renditions of Latin Jazz and Jazz Funk, The band incorporated their signature beats to produce an interesting amalgamation of sounds that truly mesmerised the audience who found themselves dancing all night long.

Before we go further, lemme introduce a bit on 7atenine. This chill out place is under the roof of SOULed out management. Why I don’t call this place a restaurant is due to they emphasize more on the chill out area more than dining place.
